An AI-Assisted Formalization of the Poincaré Conjecture

Key points

• The project began with limited reusable formal infrastructure for the geometric analysis behind the proof.1
• To organize this work, we combined a proof blueprint prepared by mathematicians with explicit milestone statements.1
• These milestones enabled parallel agent work and gave mathematicians clear points to locate blockers and provide effective mathematical guidance.1
• Our analysis identifies the human interventions and organizational choices behind this workflow.1
